Breaking the Project Failure Cycle
Successful project delivery is a complex process. Any combination of technical, financial, personnel, scheduling and/or planning issues can lead to failure. In this session, we provide experienced-based guidance and suggestions on how to avoid project failures.
We will discuss clear strategies that will eliminate, or at least help mitigate, project failure, including:
• Pick the right project through an effective management approach that defines a Project. Develop clear and concise descriptions of accountability and responsibility.
• Actively manage risks at the technical, programmatic and personnel levels.
• Identify the delivery strategy based on work defined in measurable outcomes.
This session describes how to incorporate and go beyond these key concepts to establish a Project Management Process that will allow you to break the cycle of project failure. Please click here to view the presentation.
